Slo.: temnordea movirnica - syn.: Epipactis danubialis Robatsch & Rydlo, Epipactis atropurpurea Raf. - Habitat: alpine pasture near mixed wood edge, slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; colluvial, calcareous, skeletal ground; shallow soil layer; dry, sunny, open, relatively warm place; elevation 608 m (1.995 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: Epipactis atrorubens is still a quite common wild orchid in Slovenia, although shrinking of its stands is reported from several other countries. The species is easy to recognize because of its typical color of flowers and habitus. This is quite an exception in this phylogenetically very young genus. Different authorities still quarrel how many species the genus comprises. DNA analyses did not help to resolve this question very much. Apparently DNA patterns have not yet stabilized into stable clusters and thus can hardly help in decisions what is and what is not the same or a different species. In addition the plants are very variable and hybrids and intermediate forms frequent. Also Epipactis atrorubens is variable. Sometimes only 15 cm tall, sometimes 60 cm tall plants (up to 80 cm according to Ref.2) can be found, having only a few flowers (5-6), up to maximally 40 flowers (Ref.2., Ref.3, Ref.5). The three flowering stalks on my pictures have 48, 50 and 64 flowers. Hm...? The plants are beautiful and have a pleasant odor on vanilla.

Engel. & Quentin, Epipactis orbicularis - Habitat: grassland, pasture, near mixed forest edge, under a canopy of standalone Ostrya carpinifolia, slightly southeast inclined terrain; colluvial, calcareous, skeletal ground, shallow soil layer; dry place, in half shade, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7 -9 deg C, elevation 625 m (2.050 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Epipactis helleborine ssp. orbicularis is one of the members of Epipactis helleborine aggregate. By some authors it is treated on species level, others treat it on var. level. Flora Alpina (Ref.: 6) considers it as Epipactis distans and doesn't synonymize it to Epipactis helleborine ssp. orbicularis. This reference also considers its occurrence in Slovenia as questionable. - Anyway, the easiest way to distinguish the plant from Epipactis helleborine s. str. (=Epipactis helleborine ssp. helleborine) is by its typical habitus and the arrangement and shape of its leaves. Epipactis helleborine ssp. orbicularis has stouter growth with thicker stem; the leaves are many, rounded and are not much longer than the length of internodia and more or less of equal length (except the lowest one and the upper most). The inflorescence is not one-sided as with Epipactis helleborine ssp. helleborine, but the flowers are arranged more or less uniformly radially (see Picture 7. taken vertically from the top of the inflorescence). - Two plants have been photographed (one in flowering state and one when in seeds with the last uppermost flowers) in the vicinity of my home, which correspond well to the descriptions of subspecies orbicularis. The one on pictures no. 1. to 7. is typical, while the plants on pictures no 10. to 14. are somewhat less convincing (Ref.1.). - Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004). - Ref.: (1) Personal communication with Mr. Branko Dolinar (Leg.: A.

Slo.: kratkolistna movirnica - syn.: Epipactis distans Arv.-Touv., Epipactis helleborine ssp. distans (Arv.-Touv.) Engel. & Quentin, Epipactis orbicularis - Habitat: grassland, pasture, near mixed forest edge, under a canopy of standalone Ostrya carpinifolia, slightly southeast inclined terrain; colluvial, calcareous, skeletal ground, shallow soil layer; dry place, in half shade, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7 -9 deg C, elevation 625 m (2.050 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Epipactis helleborine ssp. orbicularis is one of the members of Epipactis helleborine aggregate. By some authors it is treated on species level, others treat it on var. level. Flora Alpina (Ref.: 6) considers it as Epipactis distans and doesn't synonymize it to Epipactis helleborine ssp. orbicularis. This reference also considers its occurrence in Slovenia as questionable. - Anyway, the easiest way to distinguish the plant from Epipactis helleborine s. str. (=Epipactis helleborine ssp. helleborine) is by its typical habitus and the arrangement and shape of its leaves. Epipactis helleborine ssp. orbicularis has stouter growth with thicker stem; the leaves are many, rounded and are not much longer than the length of internodia and more or less of equal length (except the lowest one and the upper most). The inflorescence is not one-sided as with Epipactis helleborine ssp. helleborine, but the flowers are arranged more or less uniformly radially (see Picture 7. taken vertically from the top of the inflorescence). - Two plants have been photographed (one in flowering state and one when in seeds with the last uppermost flowers) in the vicinity of my home, which correspond well to the descriptions of subspecies orbicularis.
